They are in a league without a DH, and they have Freddie Freeman at 1B.   And they have traded for 3 outfielders today (Rosario, Duvall, and Soler).   Hmm.   

It was already trending that way, but I think Christian Pache and Drew Waters can now solidly be put into the "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" category.

Relievers are STILL moving.   Giants just got Tony Watson from Angels, and Braves got Pirate closer Richard Rodriguez.

So when all was said and done, 29 of the MLB teams made a trade involving a major league player this week.

The one that didn't was a surprise, because they have a shortstop 2 months away from free agency that they are doubtful to re-sign.   The Colorado Rockies.

The Rockies traded Givens to the Reds.

I’m watching MLBN and Dan O’Dowd defended them not trading him from the comp pick standpoint. Must not have been overwhelmed. He said they drafted Story with a comp pick and most WAR comes from first 2 rounds.

More trades coming in

Great day for baseball. Will be interesting to look back 5 years from today. Some of these high end prospects will pop.

It'd be nice to see anything, but gosh if we can't take Roch at 406 at face value, that'd be awful treatment by his club source.

Appears the Astros CF answer might simply be their AAA guy Jake Meyers.   Would love for Dusty if he could have gotten like a 50 year refresh to do it himself.

Now that is a team that messed something up. Hope for their fans sake they are about to announce an extension otherwise that makes NO sense.

Oh yeah!

So we were probably the last.

Rays didn’t do much did they?

True. Did think they may pull something else off. They do seem to find value from a million ways.

Richard Rodriguez used to be in the O's organization.  Does that count?
